作品角色的著作权保护研究——以“金庸诉江南”案为中心

Copyright Protections for Creative Personas—Centering on the Case of “Jin Yong v. Jiang Nan”

摘要: 随着传播方式的多样化，文学创作中同人作品与原作品的权利交叉问题在当今时代显得至关紧要。而这其中最为多数的则是如“金庸诉江南案”中借用原作人物进行同人创作的角色同人作品。但由于我国法律并未对“角色”进行著作权法的明文保护，目前在司法实践上同案不同判的案件层出不穷。美国对于作品角色的保护试图设立了三层标准，并设有“转换性使用”制度来进行同人作品的保护以及其他各国法律对于著作权“表达”的“独创性”解释都有值得我国借鉴的地方。本文将试图从域外法律对于角色同人行为的法律规制，分析如何在我国进行角色的著作权保护更为合理可行。

Abstract: With the diversification of communication methods, the problem of the intersection of rights between fan works and original works in literary creation is of great importance in today’s era. Among them, most of them are the character fanfiction that use original characters to create fanfiction, such as “Jin Yong v. Jiang Nan”. However, due to the lack of explicit protection of “role” in copyright law in our country, there are many cases with the same case and different judgments in judicial practice. The United States tries to set up three levels of standards for the protection of the role of works, and has a “transformative use” system for the protection of fanfiction and other countries’ laws for the “original” interpretation of copyright “expression” are worthy of our country’s reference. This paper will try to analyze how to protect the copyright of the role in our country from the legal regulations of foreign laws.
